for help. As the Ice was floating in
great grinding masses and the river
was rising rapidly, II was impossible

THE SMALL WILL CASE, was some
what remarkable in that it engaged
the attention of the Court and Jury,
witnesses and five attorneys for a
period offive days, beginning on Mon
day and ending Friday afternoon re-
sulting in an amicable adjustment,
without regard to the evidence, sat
isfactory to all the parties interest
ed, without even vote by the Jury;
since ascertained to have stood nine
for the will and three against it. The
attorneys engaged were j. N. Wis
ner for the will and Messrs. Faulk
ner & Ingles and Flick & Weston
haver against it. Very able argu-
ments were made by Messrs. Flick
and Faulkner and the judge settled
the law questions in nine instruc-
tions asked for by contestants and
sixasked for by the proponent. 1t was
a hard fought battle resulting as the
pugilists would say in q draw.

THE .sENA ToRI4L QUESTION

THE ,SENA TORLAL QUESTION.
At this writing the election of a
Senator has not been consummated.
There are many on the Republican
side who claim that it will be best
not to have an election, as that will
leave the responsibility of u failure
to elect, upon the democratic major
ity, with the expense and burden Of
two sessions Of the legislature add
ed thereto, and that the people are
sure to put their foot upon such un-
wise manipulations. On the other
hand, there are many republicans who
claim it would have been better for
the republicans to have aided in the
election of Senator and precipitat-
ed contest upon the U. s. Senate,
that would be bitter and uncover
many errors and continue the divid-
ing Of lines between personal adher-
ents so that in 1883 the battle would
still be in progress and undecided,
AMI thus be q disturbing factor in
The campaign. Mr.. Lucas has mott
fed them that he viii contest at all
hazard and the slim majority of the
U. S. Senate could get along better
with contest thar with only one
applicant, for with n contest the seat
remains vacant and a majority of one
more is assured. \ dispatch from
Washington 10 the IatelligeNcer thus
quotes q Washington republican, viz:
If said a distinguished leading Repub-
lican to-day, ''the idea of West Virginia
Republican, is TO stir up the animals and
keep them fighting, why don't they pro-
ceed to aid an election and bring about this
contest If there is no election no claim
ant for the seat Will turn up except Lucas.
There viii be no contest and no fights.
The nomination for a compromise State
ticket will therefore be rendered possible.
The republicans should bring about the
election of some one tor this reason. 1t
would not have been good policy before
Lucas issued his notice of contest, bur now
il is the thing 10 do"

ABOUT THE ENGLISH SPARROW
We frequently hear complaint
about the distructiveness of the
pugnacious little English sparrow,
and means suggested as to Kidding
the community Of their presence.
As pointer for our physicians, who
can lend a helping hand, we remark
that West Chester pa physician
tells the Record of that place that
he has patients who will relish broth
made from the English sparrow after
they have refused to take other
nourishment Our restaurants, no.
tells and boarding houses can also
aid in their determination by having
sparrow pot-pie as one of the dishes
on their menu. The Albany IN. Y. }
papers say they are being killed off
at great rate, 700 dozen were
sold one day for SO cents per dozen,
and all used for sparrow pie. Who
will be the first to make one the re-
port?

LABoR.-It is a mistake to sup.
pose that labor is an unpleasant
condition Of life. 1t is a matter of
experience that there is more con
tentment in attending to any kind
of occupation than there is in looking
for some &C Il pa i n. At
tend therefore to your bushes as
being worthy Of all your attention.
Workingmen are apt to consider
that their occupations alone are
laborious, but in that matter they
are mistaken. Labor of mind is
generally even more fatiguing than
labor Of the body, and it is quite er-
roneous to suppose that Others do
not work as well as we do, simply
because their work is different from
ours. Labor is the earthly condi-
ton Of man, and until the nature of
man is changed, the want of some
thing to do will produce all the hor-
rors of ennui. Gambling and others
reprehensible designations are all
owing to the fact that human nature
cannot support state of idleness.
To live without q purpose is to lead
very restless life.

idea lately expressed by Lord VOL
sely, of England, that posterity will
unite in the Judgment that Gen. Lee
was the greatest of American Gener-

Gen. Sherman gives Lee high rank
as a general inferior to Grant, while
he thinks that Thomas was his SUI

fict who was high in command and
whose ability is unquestioned his

The Crops.

Chicago, May | The following
is the weekly crop summary of the
Farmers Review; The conditions, in
the main, have been favorable for
the growing winter wheat during
the past week. Rains have fallen in
all the States, though in portion of
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois the
need of rain is still said to be urgent.
The average of the condition in Hi
,nois is about SO per cent. The
average for Indiana are about the
same as those in Illinois. In Ohio
the average is lower, very few coun-
tries reporting full average crop
Of condition. In Missouri the aver
age per cent. is 81. The condi
ton of spring wheat in Iowa, Min
nesota and Nebraska is reported to
be good, though rains are needed.
The average in Iowa promises to be
fully as large as that of last year, if
not somewhat larger.
